GeoMetis
For Marine Field Positioning QC,
The Vision
Group also has access to the ‘Geometis
Navigation/Positioning QA/QC system’ developed by
Quest Geo Solutions Ltd based in Liphook, UK.
This system has already been used successfully on several of
our 3-D
surveys around the world, and will continue to
utilise this system on future projects when requested by our clients.
The System
comprises three separate, but interactive modules, for Marine
Streamer 3D surveys, for OBC surveys, and for checking the SEG SPS
files on seismic survey projects.
GeoMetis®MX / BX
GeoMetis MX is software
designed to satisfy a range of applications for Marine Towed Streamer
positioning data, and GeoMetis BX is similar software designed
for OBC surveys. Typically data will be supplied in UKOOA P2/xx or
P1/xx data formats. Other formats can be accommodated on request.
Applications include:
-
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
-
Processing Support
-
Training
-
Data Management
-
Data Analysis and Investigation
-
Reprocessing of Legacy Data
-
Client Representation
-
Field Management of Seismic Data
Acquisition
Advantages include:
-
Access to information from data from
the moment you load the data into the system
-
Easy to use software
-
No repetition of contractors processes
needed for QA/QC
-
Notebook Computer/MS Windows base
makes configuration and support easy
-
Graphical and tabular displays of
results
-
Flow based applications make operation
systematic
-
Reporting linked to MS Office products
for ease of report generation
Functionality includes:
-
Data format checking and display
-
Shot by shot or batch data control
-
Selection and de-selection of nodes
and components
-
Reverse engineering of solutions
-
Results gathered for time or area
analysis
-
Complete data processing functionality
if needed
Geometis®SPSCheck
GeoMetis SPSCheck is software
designed to check both the rigorous format and the data integrity of
SEG SPS data files as used on Land, Transition Zone and OBS/OBC
seismic surveys. Can be used in conjunction with GeoMetis PXCheck
where both types of data format are used.
Applications include:
-
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
-
Processing Support
-
Training
-
Data Management
-
Data Analysis and Investigation
-
Reprocessing of Legacy Data
-

Neptune: Marine Seismic Navigation Software
(Licensed to Vision Project Services
Group by Exploration Consultants Limited (ECL))
“Neptune” (which in the past has also
been known as VisNav) was developed to enable interaction and
analysis of Marine Seismic Navigation data with the conviction that
this will allow us to offer a better service. “Neptune” was designed
to provide the consultant with information about the data. The
process of using “Neptune” will make the consultant better informed
and will allow a clearer insight into the strengths and weaknesses of
the navigation data systems, operation, acquisition and processing.
It specifically utilises and verifies those data formats created for
navigation data archiving and interchange.
In creating “Neptune”, ECL have avoided
reproducing or emulating the acquisition or processing systems used by
the contractors and have developed a tool which has very specific
features required by a consultant.
These features include:
-
Portability – runs on a
laptop computer and can be hand carried to the workplace by the
consultant.
-
Ease of configuration and installation
- can be installed and set up within minutes.
-
Comprehensive – has a
wide range of tools, functions and features, which enable data
evaluation, analysis and comparison.
-
Ease of use - intuitive,
easy to use and can provide information quickly allowing the
consultant maximum time to interact with the navigation operation
and the contractors crew.
-
Graphical – “Neptune”
utilises GIS and graphing techniques as well as tables of data for
information output and interaction.
-
Useful – “Neptune” is
written to be part of the service provided. It is useful in the
context of the work being done and all of the output is useful and
meaningful.
-
Fast – Very fast, built
by people who know what they are doing and who understand the data.
-
Expert software –
software written by programmers with years of experience in software
development and in positioning data, software that works properly.
-
Report orientated –
allows direct transfer of information between reports and documents
created or stored on the computer system or network.
-
Traceability – allows
traceability and event tracking throughout the duration of a project
or survey.
-
Format verification and error reporting
– allows fast and accurate pinpointing of any format and data
errors, which will prevent input navigation data from reading
correctly on a correctly configured computer system.
-
Complete – Full network
adjustment and P1 production.
-
Proven track record –
“Neptune” is developed and written by personnel with a strong
background of software development and of providing consultancy
services.
-
Popular – “Neptune” is
liked by both consultants and clients who have used it.
Application:
“Neptune” can be used to evaluate marine navigation data and data
formats on current data during a project or from historic data sets
and to verify the integrity of their formats.
Project traceability is fundamental to the
systems reporting structure and a project can be described as a single
line, a subset of lines, a single survey or a group of surveys.
Support: “Neptune” is fully
supported by those who design, write, manufacture and distribute it.
Support extends to data problems, which can be analysed and results
verified across the Internet as required and as part of the support
service provided.
Cost: “Neptune” is a product
that adds value to your data and to the service we provide.
System requirements: The
more RAM, the faster the processor, the bigger the disk drive, the
bigger the display, the better the performance! This is probably true
of most software but with “Neptune” it will make a big difference.
“Neptune” can be run on most MS-Windows or NT based computers, a
typical laptop system would be a 500MHz processor, 128 MB of RAM and
at least 4GB of disk space (navigation data files are large).
Additionally your Input/Output requirements may need to be
considered. How will data be supplied to you and what output will you
have? Options typically include: Across a network, in which case a
network connection, a network card and cables will be required. Via a
magnetic tape in which case a suitable tape drive with a SCSI card and
cable will be needed.
Geomatrix
This is a suite of useful Survey Tools, running in the Windows
environment. It’s extensive Geodetic facilities can support a large
number of Projections, such as UTM, TM, Mercator, Stereographic,
Lambert 1 & 2 parallels, New Zealand, Rectified Skew Orthomorphic (RSO),
Kavraisky, and Cassini-Soldner. It can support ALL worldwide
Spheroids, and any Datum defined with 3, 5 or 7 parameter shifts. It
will compute in any units, and will also compute Vertical Datum. It
also contains a number of useful Marine calculations, such as tidal
prediction and reduction, and several methods of computing Network
adjustments.
GEOMATRIX runs on a Pentium platform
and will generally be loaded on the Navigation QC Specialist’s
notebook computer.
